Today I

  • Got Johann out of bed this morning.  Tried to get him to say "up" but still no dice.  I did think he signed "eat" though when I had him on the changing table, so I got him puffies right away and told Kel.
  • Fed him bananas and oatmeal.  He had some, but then after some playing outside, he decided he was hungry for real, and so polished off the oatmeal plus some chouch of various orange veggies.
  • About the time he wanted a snack, I took him outside on the back porch in his chair, under an umbrella with his crackers and strawberries on his tray with a drink, so he could see me re-pot the growing long term potted garden plants.
  • Kel came home, and we tried to get her and little man down for a nap, but no dice, really.
  • I transferred my dry hopped saison to secondary.  The transfer volume is a little low. I don't know if it's the bucket, which is poorly labeled, or if I left behind a larger volume than usual because the yeast hadn't fully settled.  Dunno.  Will need to take a gravity reading.  It smelled good.  I went with the 23 g citra, swithced to 14 g Sorachi Ace,
  • Kel dropped and broke one of the clear lids to the pots.  It shattered mostly in the sink, but on the counters and floor as well. It woke Johann, so I offered to clean up if she just took care of him.  I used a dust pan and brush on the floor and in the sink, and eventually the vacuum to get it out of the disposal.  I think it worked well.  Was mostly worried about tiny bits where Johann crawls.
  • Kel made another amazing curry.
  • At dinner, Johann finally signed "more". He wanted more.  Kel said more to him, I told her to sign it as she left.  When she came back, I told her to sign it again, and this time, Johann bumped his two little fists together.  We were both cheering.  he did it over and over.  I hope he understands the idea and uses it again.  it feels like a breakthrough. Time for more signs.
  • I began my first attempt at infusing butter for baking tonight.  We may or may not be able to have a result for a while, but I figure worth while to practice.
